Breaking: Breitbart's Staff Is Revolting

"Andrew's life mission has been betrayed," Shapiro wrote. "Indeed, Breitbart News, under the chairmanship of Steve Bannon, has put a stake through the heart of Andrew's legacy. In my opinion, Steve Bannon is a bully, and has sold out Andrew's mission in order to back another bully, Donald Trump; he has shaped the company into Trump's personal Pravda, to the extent that he abandoned and undercut his own reporter, Breitbart News' Michelle Fields, in order to protect Trump's bully campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, who allegedly assaulted Michelle."

Nonetheless, what happened to Michelle Fields was appalling. (And I would point out that it's only a matter of time before He, Trump turns the crowd loose on the entire media pen.) The subsequent actions of her bosses were even worse, and their response to the current resignations reads like a bad high-school slam book. It was up on the Intertoobz for about 11 seconds before somebody, possibly officials of a local hazardous waste disposal firm, took it down. I have no doubt that both Shapiro and Fields likely will find work elsewhere in the vast and fertile realms of the wingnut welfare universe. Meanwhile, of course, hilarity will continue to ensue.
